SKILLS - Creating A Crisis Survival Kit

In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a therapist is constantly filling a client's toolbox with strategies and skills to help them cope with daily challenges, anxieties and emotional conundrums. This series of bonus episodes will explore some of those skills and how to apply them to every day life.What can you do to get through a crisis without making the problem worse? I suggest to clients that they create a crisis survival kit, which is collection of items to have on hand to use when you’re in a crisis. The idea is to use the items in the kit to relieve the emotional stress enough so you can make the next right choice…rather than do something impulsive that would make the situation worse.
